Count of timestamps with average level greater

Hi, (I think) I'm trying to do something similar to https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-find-count-of-records-that-are-greater-than-the-aver... but with a level of aggregation.

 

So, I have a table

TimestampLevelPerson
1,3111
1,3152
1,393
2,291
2,2112
2,283
2,284
3,4211
3,4222
3,483
3,4314
3,4275
3,4896

 

What I'd like to achieve is a COUNT of Timestamps with AVERAGE level within ranges. So, in my example, I'd like to get

CategoryCount
Count of timestamps with average level  <101
Count of timestamps with average level  10-201
Count of timestamps with average level  >201

 

So I can create visuals displaying each category.

Try adding a calculated column as follows

 

Category =
VAR AverageLevel =
    CALCULATE ( AVERAGE ( Table1[Level] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[Timestamp] ) )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        AverageLevel < 10, "Average Level < 10",
        AverageLevel <= 20, "Average Level 10 -20",
        "Average Level > 20"
    )

Then you can take a distinctcount of TimeStamps for each category

    )

Works perfectly!

Just a question about aggregating. If I wanted to use the filter in a formula, rather as a visual filter, how would you go about it?

 

I tried:

 

Level1 = CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table'[Category] );
'Table'[Category] = "Average Level < 10")

 

But I alwas get a result of 1, even when I increase the number of timestamps <10

Scratch that, the formula should be 

Level1 = CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table'[Timestamp] );
'Table'[Category] = "Average Level < 10")
